Haweis(i)
13 For ye have heard of my former manner of life, when I professed Judaism, that in the most outrageous manner I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14 and signalized myself in Judaism above many of those of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly a zealot for the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased God, who selected me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach the glad tidings of him to the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,
17 nor went up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18 Afterwards at the expiration of three years I went up unto Jerusalem to pay a visit to Peter, and I abode with him fifteen days.
19 But I saw no other of the apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Now respecting the things which I write unto you, behold, in the presence of God, I lie not.
21 Afterwards I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 and I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea, which are in Christ:
23 only they had heard, that he who persecuted us in time past, now preaches the faith which he once laid waste.
24 And they glorified God on my behalf.
